I still disagree to an extent.  The problem that I have with Mailman is
its lack of flexibility in the Web-based admin pages.  If we're really
going to do it right, there should be an API for the Web interface that
allows options to be added or removed on a per list basis with configurable
external actions.

If this was embedded in Mailman, you could even control your procmail/perl/
python filters via the Mailman Web interface (yes, it could be designed
securely).

But I don't want to get into a vi/emacs war...  :)
